The TWIJ Cinematic Universe has returned to the late 90s/early 2000s 🚨
This playlist features some of my all-time favorite songs of all-time (did I say all-time enough because I mean ALL-TIME)!
Madonna, Fiona, Alanis, Sheryl, Vanessa, and more! This playlist also features 2021 & 2022 tracks from HAIM, Lorde (“Solar Power” deserves your respect 😤), and Soccer Mommy that have extreme late 90s/early 2000s vibes.
Believe it or not there were like 145 tracks I couldn't fit on here, so I may just make this a series 👀
Update: If you’re seeing this post now, This Week In Jams has been refreshed. No need to fear, you can find this particular playlist here:
If you are over the age of [REDACTED], you know most of the throwback songs on this playlist, but there are a few music videos I need to discuss:
“Everywhere” - Michelle Branch
Ok, I watched this video for the first time in a long time a few days ago and two things immediately stood out:
My god can I please have this apartment
Ummmmm, Michelle Branch is stalking this dude, right?
Obviously, I could not be the only one thinking about #2, so I legit searched “Michelle Branch Everywhere stalking” 10 minutes ago and boom:
“No one’s ever mentione— I’m stalking someone in this video.” - Michelle Branch
But wait, there’s more! The literal next sentence:
"I really like my apartment that I was filming in. How did I afford such a rad apartment at such a teenage budget?” - MICHELLE BRANCH
Mike. Don’t do it. Do no—-This video makes me believe-STOP RIGHT N—I’m not alooooOooOoooonnneeeEee. That’s right, I’m not alone.
“Bitch” - Meredith Brooks
Meredith Brooks saw this GIF (well, probably video on VHS) and understood the gotdamn assignment:
“Torn” - Natalie Imbruglia
Lots of fun facts in this behind the scenes article, but I love that there’s a B-roll Youtube video with only 7,000-ish views! This is gold, people!
